Very nice gentlemen. He's going to do well working with Hillary.

Hope someday I'll get the chance that you did. Lucky you!

Edit: Sorry. Doh!

Had one DU'er fact check me about a Newt double-standard comment I made, where that DU'er went into defending Newt.

Met him and shook his hand. Lived in NLR from 76 Till 84 when I graduated HS. It was such a small state then and it was not hard to meet the governor.

I finally got to shake Bill's hand earlier this year, and Hillary's a few weeks ago.

Very proud to say that I've met both Presidents Clinton.

I was too short to see him in the crowd but he said to me "I like your sign" which read "Bush lives in Maine, this Texan for Clinton."

It was a wonderful day and it is still a wonderful memory all these years later. I am very grateful for him and Al Gore.
